Semua Bab My Billionaire Ex-husband’s Rival: Bab 1 - Bab 10

​~Zara POV~ ​I wiped my tears as I got out of the taxi. As usual, the mansion was quiet, with a few guards around and servants tending to the garden. I ignored the sharp pain in my abdomen as I pushed the doors to the mansion open. I didn't know how to act or how to explain to the family that Wilson not only cheated on me, but he also fathered three children outside our marriage. ​However, as soon as I entered the hallway, I was greeted by the Adams family. The entire family was there, a silent jury gathered in the hall room. My father-in-law, Vincent Adams, stood at the center, his face a mask of aristocratic fury. ​“Mr. Adams, I'm sorry, but Wilson…” I started but I froze. A heavy slap landed across my face. ​The blow didn't come with a shout; it came with the terrifying speed of a man who felt he was cleaning a stain. My head snapped back, the metallic tang of blood blooming in my mouth as I stumbled. ​“Mommy!” I heard my daughter’s sweet voice call out to me. I didn't cry as I

~Zara POV~ Two(2) years later “It has two bedrooms, a kitchen…decent enough…a little study room…not so classy, and finally a quiet garden,” Kaden said as she turned around with a smile. I was occupied walking around; the place wasn't bad, a little dusty with broken furniture and torn walls, but nothing I couldn't fix. “Thank you so much, Kaddy… I don't know what to say.” I was almost in tears after a long time of searching and running. I finally moved to a small town, far away from everything. “Don't mention…you know…college days…come on, Zara, don't be like this,” Kaden said happily as she moved around too. I couldn’t help but feel bad. Kaden was one of those people I rarely talked to back in college; she was a good girl. Savage yet lovely. Who would have thought the same girl I ignored would move mountains to help me? “You're an angel sent from heaven.” I hugged her. It took one call, and Kaden already sent everything to me, her location and everything. I didn't waste time; aft

~Zara POV~The day didn't go as I expected; of course, only one person caused it. And it was her so-called shameless neighbor…apparently Chance had his breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Kaden's office. Of course I guessed he was one of those men who didn't know how to cook.“So… he's gone now… like 5 hours ago… quit fawning.” Kaden startled me back to my senses when she snuck up on me.“Girl, come on, you think I give two cents about that shameless…man?” I said sarcastically, placing my hand on my rapidly beating heart. Kaden chuckled as she walked with me to the counter. The restaurant was fully packed since morning, but now it was almost closing time, and there were few people “You're my good luck charm… today was packed… we made cash, you know!” Kaden beamed while showing me a stack of cash. I couldn't help but smile faintly. My eyes traveled to the corner booth, and I smiled seeing my little girl seated there.“Are you sure she won't scare the customers away?” I asked, turning to

~Zara POV~“You can’t possibly be that stupid!” I heard someone say from behind when I was busy throwing out the trash. I turned around, and it was Chance. The man seemed to be everywhere. Didn't he have a job to keep him busy?“Excuse me?” I wondered why he was following me. I had stepped out to throw garbage behind the restaurant and take a little break while Kaden took over the lunch shift.“He's a disgusting old man… you can’t be so naive as to agree to have dinner with him,” Chance remarked. He sounded frustrated; I could see it in his eyes. In the scorching sun, his gray-blue eyes were a lot darker and more appealing. Other than that, for someone who didn't have a job, Chance had a good sense of fashion: dark jeans, a dark muscle shirt, and expensive kicks.“I don't remember asking you for life advice… even if I was at the bottom of the sea drowning, I wouldn't take your advice,” I said sarcastically and prepared to leave when he stopped me. He ran his hands through his silk hair

~Zara POV~I was shocked to see Chance in action; the man was moving swiftly, giving the fight to the muscular men Stanley hired. He knocked all of them down so hard that some even ran, while Stanley yelled at the top of his voice.“You're a disgusting pig; you never change!” Chance growled as he grabbed Stanley by his coat and hoisted him up. He was trembling; even though it was dark, I could see it. I tried to stand, but my arm didn't feel right.“I… I have nothing against you, Chance… she… she's my woman… how dare you?” Stanley stammered, but he yelled the last words when he didn't get to finish his sentence. Chance punched him in the face so hard Stanley fell to the ground and went unconscious. Once he was sure all the men were down, he approached me.“Are you okay?” he whispered as he helped me up, although I shrugged him away. “Here.” He stripped off his leather jacket and draped it over my shoulders since my shirt was ripped due to the men pulling me. I felt his warmth and his
